Longyearbyen (SJLYR)

Originally built by the coal mining industry to transport coal from the mountains, Port Longyearbyen is now the major logistic point for cargo to the different settlements on Spitsbergen and for the cruise industry. It is a services' base for research vessels in the Arctic Region. There are three berths for larger vessels located within the port area, along with pontoons for tourist boats, yachts and tenders. Latterly, coal mining operations in the area have reduced because of global competition and low market prices.

Longyearbyen is situated in Adventfjorden on Spitsbergen.

LOA 250m, draught 7.1m

Approx 1,656 vessels (cruise, tourist and research), 86,736 passengers and 25,745t of cargo handled per year.

Anchorage is available in Adventfjord bay, in depths of more than 60m. Large vessels may also anchor 0.25nm North of the piers, in depths of 47m, thick mud. Depths are considerable until just off the head of the larger pier.

From a position NE of Adventpynten, the alignment of 196° of a set of leading lights takes a vessel SSW towards the berth at Koliaia.

Please note that the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA) will soon introduce new booking regulations for requesting marine pilots, merging all pilot booking procedures into one common regulation to improve access to current regulations in all coastal areas. Norwegian State Pilot can be ordered electronically, using the SafeSeaNet (http://www.kystverket.no/en).

The port of Longyearbyen has limited berth capacity. In certain periods throughout the year demand exceeds available wharf capacity. The port reserve the right to reduce lay time, move ships to anchor or alter berth positions to give most ships the possibility to take care of their business. This requires that all ships make the most of their lay time at the wharves. In certain severe weather conditions, larger vessels at Bykaia may have to use their engines to stay at the berth, or be asked to move out to anchor. A pipeline is laid near the 50m contour at head of the Fjord, near the anchorage.
